'Cafe Minandang' Episode 10 Highlights: Goo Tae Soo Protected by Influential People?

Nam Han Joon's primary suspect, Goo Tae Soo, escaped the interrogation after his DNA did not match the evidence at the crime scene.

On the other hand, despite being detained, Nam Han Joon managed to get Tae Soo's DNA by punching him in the face. He then asked Han Jae Hee to hand it to his right-hand man, Gong Seo Chul, to have it examined.

As he waited for the result, he observed the chief of police after suspecting that someone from the higher-ups was helping Goo Tae Soo escape the crime.

Lo and behold, "Cafe Minandang" episode 10 showed the influential people from the government and conglomerates that are connected to Goo Tae Soo and are investors of Joyce Entertainment.

Due to a lack of evidence against the shaman, he was freed from detention. However, he declined Han Jae Hee's offer for them to team up to prove that Goo Tae Soo was the culprit.

He advised the female officer to stick to what she's best at: playing the good cop.

The former criminal profiler thinks that her sense of judgment could get in the way of investigating the case, leaving the exciting part like breaking and bending the rules to him.

Since Han Jae Hee failed to provide evidence of her claims toward Goo Tae Soo, she was suspended and removed from the case.

After hearing that the chief's son was in the hands of gang members asking for a significant amount of money to release his son, Nam Han Joon comes in, saying that the heavens wanted him to help the chief.

Interestingly, he was able to help the son escape the gang's hideout safely, and in return, he asked to appoint Jae Hee again to the case.

In the latter part of the episode, she finally revealed her connection with Prosecutor Han Jae Jeong to Nam Han Joon.
